This book provides a detailed overview of the progress and
challenges of non-traditional approaches for tackling antimicrobial
resistance. The first chapter covers the factors that make microbes
more likely to develop multidrug resistance. The book goes on to
discuss the antimicrobial properties of propolis, essential oils
and other microbial constituents that are used or under
investigation to treat multidrug-resistant infections.
Additionally, it covers alternative compounds that work as
antimicrobial agents, their mechanisms of action, and how they
might be utilized in conjunction with conventional drugs to
circumvent drug resistance. The book explores the application of
phage therapy and recent advancements in phage-based infection
control with an emphasis on multidrug-resistant infections and
discusses drug repurposing as a strategy to develop new
antimicrobial agents efficiently and expeditiously. Additionally,
it discusses the uses of nanoparticles in the treatment of
infections brought on by multidrug-resistant pathogens and examines
the use of different nanotechnology-based approaches to fudge
microbial resistance mechanisms. It concludes by reviewing recent
studies on microbial quorum-sensing systems and focuses on the
significance of quorum-sensing systems in controlling microbial
resistance mechanisms and at the same time highlights the
importance and role of antimicrobial stewardship program to fight
microbial infections. The book is an invaluable source of knowledge
and information for academics, basic and clinical researchers,
clinicians, and paramedic staff involved in one way or the other in
the development and use of antimicrobial agents and strategies to
combat multidrug resistance.
